I hope not, but they

I hope not, but they probably will.

Macross II would be nice, since those saw nothing but 1 injection kit and some long lost resin kits 20 years ago. The story might be weak, but the designs were the best post-DYRL valks yet.

Mmm-! Nice to see someone

Mmm-! Nice to see someone else agrees with me on this. The VF-2SS was very faithful to the original VF-1 series, but put its own style on things which none of these newer ones ever did, save perhaps the VF-11. I also really like how they keep the nose & cockpit in the same location on the chest as opposed to folding things up beneath the head, and then placing wings on the hips (a la VF-19). Also, I would liked to have seen models & toys of some of the other mecha, like the new versions of the Defender, Phalanx, and the Macross Cannon. (That Metal Siren from Macross-II, BTW, sucked eggs badly. Another next-gen design wasted on me...)

Didn't the YF-21 design also

Didn't the YF-21 design also show up in Macross 7 as the VF-22 Strumvogel? Or however that's spelled. Of course minus the BDI.

Yes and the only real

Yes and the only real noticable design change was the face.

I'm hoping we'll get a VF-17 and a Fire Valkyrie out of this line. Considering we're getting that PSP game with all the Macross mechs it's a nice possibility.
